Mary Lambert liveblogs the VMAs with us tonight!

Tonight at 8 p.m. EST/5 p.m. PST we’ll be live blogging the MTV Video Music Awards, starting with the red carpet arrivals. (The actual show starts an hour later.) Please join us on Twitter using the hashtag #VMAgae and your tweets about the show could end up here on our liveblog.

The cool thing about this year is we have Mary Lambert sending us her behind-the-scenes look at the awards, as she’s performing “Same Love” with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. She’s already started getting ready!

11:55 a.m. Hair!

Speaking of music videos, have you seen hers for “She Keeps Me Warm” yet? I am obsessed with it. We’ll be posting it here on AfterEllen next week.

3:52 p.m. On our way to dress rehearsal! Drake walked by me and he looked cool.

4:48 p.m. Dress rehearsal was intense. I share a monitor with Kanye, So I have to rush and get it on! I was late getting on stage at rehearsal! I gotta prep myself quicker. This shit is bananas.

5:55 p.m. I did my own make up and felt bad to the make up people but dang I look good!
